My dad has been to Japan, Korea, and China quite a few times for business. He said that Japan was the most fun. He told me that they work hard but play even harder, even on weekdays. They went out one night and his American colleague that went with him was a competitive drinker in college, so he could down an entire beer in about 3 seconds. The Japanese guys there were trying to learn how to do it and weren't about to let an American show them up. Two of the Japanese guys got so drunk trying to suck down a beer that fast that their pissed off wives had to come pick them up. One of the funniest things my dad has ever seen. He also said that they take their karaoke VERY seriously. He's got quite a few very interesting stories of his travels.
So here is s story, In my english class we were learning christmas songs in different languages for whatever reason (We did dutch, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, and danish) and of coarse, Japanese. Here's why it was the best (These are the basic translations for Rudolph the RNR): Rudolph had a shiny nose Nobody liked him He cried every night Then one Christmas it was dark Santa decided Rudolph's nose was convenient (FUCKIN' CONVENIENT) Rudolph was useful. Yuh-huh.
Kind of like the Danish one about Rudolph as well :) "Do you know the one about Rudolph? Rudolph with the red snort. He was an old reindeer, Who looked highly strange. All the other reindeers laughed And Rudolph became embarrassed Of his red nose . That was not fun at all! But a foggy Christmas night Santa screamed. I am lost Rudolph come and light the way for me. And you better believe that Rudolph's nose lit Up like a lighthouse! _and here's the best part_ Cheers for the red noses Lovely Christmas tale"
@@thomasinajefferson9971 I can't imagine akidearest and chris getting along on a romantic level lol. Plus he still does videos with joey and that would be hella awkward.
Im actually in Japan right now, Kyoto specifically. These videos always got me excited to go. I go back to Tokyo in a couple days. It's really an amazing experience, I would even tell people it's an experience you should have at least once in your life.
if you are going back to tokyo,do check out club/disco Ageha in kita ku,biggest disco in japan.its usually totally full with foreigners from all over the world.go on saturday night and you will remember it for a long time ;)
I'm gonna move to Japan, become an anime character and pretend I use to have a deep dark past, and as I look into the sky people will ask me "What's wrong Joseph?" I'll say "Nothing" and walk away.
Yeah they always underestimate how many you need. I once bought a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo when I was at college about 13 years ago. Had 3 on one side and 2 on the other. Ohhhhh yissss!
You inspired me to apply for the JET program once I complete my bachelor's degree in a few years. I love Japanese culture and would love to teach English there as well! Your videos are always informative and fun.
definitely go to tokio district akihabara (to a maid cafe :3 ), visit Castle Himeiji and climb up the vulcan "Mount Fuji" then find a good work, buy a big house, marry a cute loli Girl ^-^, have a family,..., be always happy until you are very old, and then die with a smile on your face :-) => Life Goal Achieved => Challenge Completed haha, lol ...ok do at least the first 3 things ;-)
Infinite Creations I've been reading your other comments as well and you seem to have the wrong impression of Japan.. A small portion of Japan loves anime. Anime is frowned upon like it is in America. The fictional life styles of anime characters are no where near true, Japanese people have uploaded videos speaking of that as well. I hate to be so blunt, but I don't want you to go to Japan and get your hopes up ! Yeah, it's an amazing place, but females do not speak like they do in anime and these different anime character personality types do not exist. Japan is a country of its own, not a dreamland. It has its problems just like any other country. 60 years from now, less than 50% of Japan will be working according to statistics. Their people will be too old and the population is too low. Don't forget the big anime fans who choose their waifus over real life women so they refuse to date. Please, don't take my words as offensive or in a mean way. I wish you the best during your endeavors in Japan, but try not to expect it to be like anime. I have a friend who I warned for years that it's different from anime and not what he thinks, yet he ignored me. He came back with disappointment and hasn't been back since. I love Japan as it is and have considered seeking work in Japan, but I know the stage behind the curtain. I'm a nerd and will be playing visual novels, reading manga, watching anime.. etc during my stay in Japan; but will not expect to see the same scenarios actually happen. Anime is a form of escapement for a reason. Again, try not to take my words as hurtful. I expect to receive much hate for this, but I felt the need to throw my input out there. Just don't go expecting a heaven-like experience. Expect the worse, and receive the best. Low expectations = High satisfaction.
Steven Toth ...comeon don´t take all my comments sooo seriously. I know how it´s there i have some friends who life there and i also have been once there. I don´t have a wrong Impression ;-) btw. "A small portion of Japan loves anime. Anime is frowned upon like it is in America" ??? Double nope! First i´m not from America so I don´t know about Anime there ;b Second "frowned upon" ? Not really, I have been once to the Comiket and maybe not everyone likes it so much, but they surely are not against it!!! I never said that " [I] will not expect to see the same scenarios actually happen " . But i would buy and read/see a lot of Anime/Manga there XDDDD
I can relate to your story on New Year's - when I was in Osaka, I asked a random guy on the street if he knew where I could find the next sushi restaurant - he just said come with me and ended up inviting me to a high class sushi Restaurant. Japanese people really are fantastic!
Kevin Nguyen When weeaboos face reality, or have a reality check, they get angry by tapping on their keyboard, typing excessively fast and making spelling errors; not pointing at anyone.
For years I didn´t quite understand the art and craftsmanship that goes into every dish of traditional Japanese food, but movies like *Tampopo* or *Jiro Dreams of Sushi* give you a great insight into the beauty of a single piece of sushi or bowl of ramen
I absolutely loved visiting Japan the two times I had the privilege. I was in the US Navy and visited Sasebo and Yokosuka. Great people first and foremost, great sights, great food, clean, just amazing experiences.
I really want to go to Japan and always have since I was a kid. It's such a beautiful country, rich with culture and beauty and one day I hope to visit. Only downside is it's really expensive to go :(
I really appreciate the fact that you take the time to put subtitles on your videos. It helps me a lot since it can be hard to hear you when you record in busy places like that airport.
I first went to Japan in October this year and it truly exceeded my expectations. I had such a great time, I booked up immediately to return in late November and had an even greater time! You meet so many awesome people and see so many epic sights, and the night life is something else I'll say. I look forward to March 2015 when I move to Japan for a year :)
Wow, really funny watching this again, I was in high school still when I first seen your vids. Awesome to see how far you've come and grown. Keep up the amazing work Chris
On a recent visit to Japan we tried to bring back four of those "Jii" USB lighters, although sadly we were only allowed to take on one each. Even though they aren't conventional lighters, nor did they have charge, they are still classed as a fire hazard! Knowing is half the battle - G.I. JOE!
I got back from a week in Japan on Sunday last. Thanks for your videos. I can't say I went to many places from your videos, or that they gave me specific inspiration, but what I can say is that they made me feel assured in my visit that that I'd be comfortable in Japan. I really was, and enjoyed it a lot. Keep up the videos!
There's so much comedic relief in your videos. I can't remember the last time I've laughed so hard. Every kind of laugh from a chuckle, to knee slapping, crying, and/or peeing or dying laughter. What makes it so funny is, the marketing in Japan is taken very seriously and with so much pride in what they do (things that in the US or in the UK is hugely embarrassing or just absurd) is just so well done that you can't help but laugh. What I mean is, this type of laughter is just genuine hilarity. It's not in any way making fun of, offensive, or looking down on Japan. Although, some of of their marketing is a bit...well....weird and *sometimes* embarrassing, but for the most part, it's just funny. I'm not expressing myself quite as well as I want to, but I just want to say thank you for your hard work, and, cheers to Japanese marketing.
Actually your videos have sparked an interest, for my son and I to save up for our trip to Japan. We plan to spend atleast two weeks in Japan on our visit (whenever that is) Working on learning the language as much as we can, and always watching youtube about it. Thank you for your videos, they are very entertaining and informative AND inspiring!
Fun story about language in Japan: My parents went there before I was born (my dad was on a trip for karate), and there was a bus that was supposed to pick everyone up after a grueling journey up and down a mountain. My mom, of course, remained at the base of the mountain because she wasn't learning karate and sure as hell wasn't going up and down a mountain. Turns out they brought the bus up, and the whole point was to make them think there was more ahead of them then there actually was. So here's my mom, sitting and waiting for a bus that isn't coming, when a car pulls up and this lady rolls down the window. Neither of them speak a common language, and after figuring this out, the other woman just says "Karate? Karate?" And my mom said "Hai" which was the only world of Japanese she knew. And thanks to those two words, this woman managed to get my mom back to the hotel where everyone was staying.
I’m visiting Tokyo on 13 September to play tournament Bridge . My second visit . Recently subscribed to your Channel and am Impressed by the humor , content and quirky Japanese culture . Keep it weird and less stuff about your weight , appearance and personal problems ( which seem trivial compared to mine ! )
I'll see YOU in Narita on July 2nd mate. Lawl. Seriously though, fun video. I can't wait till July where it's finally my turn to get a piece of the Japanese "cake"
Your vids are as cool as always, but dude if you want to be more frequent, maybe it's an idea to make vlog-like videos. It is always cool to hear funny stories etc. Not that these videos are bad!
Seriously? I mean like everything that comes out of ure mouth is funny, I think you would be a great V-logger. But yeah, try it once or twice then we can see how it will work out right? :D Anyways, keep up the great work!!
I UST WATCHED YOUR VIDEOS AND IM LAUGHING OUT LOUD RIGHT NOW OMYGOSH. HAHA. You're one of the most funniest guy I've ever watched. I'm a Filipino and I want to learn and know more about Japan so yeah, I'm watching your videos man. Its awesome!
tomcornwall83 That's no indication of the local cuisine's quality, it just means that the UK has a lot of fancy restaurants (probably serving other countries' food).
When I went to japan I stayed at a hotel that was entirely Pokemon themed, and even the staff were dressed up in costumes the whole time. Truly a wonderful place!
I've heard that the hospitality towards foreigners there is fantastic. That they work very hard to make sure you are alright, know where you're going and not lost, try to make you more comfortable by speaking English to you at first and making sure you have a fork/spoon at restaurants to make it feel more like home to you, and just all in general take care of you to make sure your time in Japan is great (even if they randomly see you walking down the street looking confused they come up to you to help)! I've met Japanese people before, but in my own country. I've never met a Japanese person who wasn't nice, hardworking, and very gentlemanly. If that were my country of origin and culture, I'd be so proud of my people. They all seem like great people.
It comes down to trust, in Japan you can meet total strangers and you don't feel threatened or worried about your safety, therefore partying with them comes easily. People are generally very nice, there is however a minority of middle aged racist Japanese guys who don't like foreigners and show it in the funniest of ways. It should be noted that they are very tiny minority and they come off as odd, not threatening.
Lightning strike You make a trip from New York City to Japan annually. That doesn't sound like middle class. I myself am a middle class citizen but I would quickly drain my bank account if I were to make that trip so often. Does your mother have a special air miles or something being a news reporter? She must have to make trips all throughout america, yes? I'm not trying to be condescending, by the way, I'm just curious. Ask your mother if you can.
I love your videos so much :3 But I'd prefer if you used british terms rather than jumping into 'american'. Idk, crisps just sounds so much better than potato chips
#1 Especially true! Many people so easy to talk to and help. One instance, my wife and I were on a train that was diverted because of heavy rainfall. We didn't know where to go, and a schoolboy who was already late for is classes, took the time to show us how to get to the train we needed to get to and even walked us to the station. If you go, BRING OMIYAGE to show your appreciation to people who help you! We wish we did!
Ever since I started learning about Japan in junior high, I've been consumed by a growing fascination with Japan as well as some other parts of Asia. I shall certainly visit one day. For now, I shall try and learn the language and more about the incredible culture. In fact, it was a Japanese lady (my professor) that gave me the inspiration and support to gain the self-belief and extra boost to graduate from my university with good grades. She probably doesn't know but my whole class truly loved her and I owe her so much for her incredible heart.
i remember watching this and the Mc Donald's deluxe burgers vividly, and other videos from AbroadInJapan and these were the first inspirations for me to come to Japan , how time flies !
Nice people. Next to no crime activities. Low prices and first to get most global released video games. Now i'm definitely convinced. Better start learning how to speak, read and understand Japanese.
My tickets are booked for this fall... I cannot wait to travel around Japan. I've been watching way too many of your videos at the expense of my sleep!

In my english class we were learning christmas songs in different languages for whatever reason (We did dutch, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, and danish) and of coarse, Japanese. Here's why it was the best (These are the basic translations for Rudolph the RNR):
Rudolph had a shiny nose
Nobody liked him
He cried every night
Then one Christmas it was dark
Santa decided Rudolph's nose was convenient (FUCKIN' CONVENIENT)
Rudolph was useful.
Yuh-huh.

I prefer the Japanese version
Kind of like the Danish one about Rudolph as well :)
"Do you know the one about Rudolph?
Rudolph with the red snort.
He was an old reindeer,
Who looked highly strange.
All the other reindeers laughed
And Rudolph became embarrassed
Of his red nose .
That was not fun at all!
But a foggy Christmas night Santa screamed.
I am lost Rudolph come and light the way for me.
And you better believe that Rudolph's nose lit
Up like a lighthouse!
_and here's the best part_
Cheers for the red noses
Lovely Christmas tale"

omg Cat Island?! Bowing Deers?! I'm off to Japan. good thing I bought several reference books for learning Japanese
Fun story about language in Japan: My parents went there before I was born (my dad was on a trip for karate), and there was a bus that was supposed to pick everyone up after a grueling journey up and down a mountain. My mom, of course, remained at the base of the mountain because she wasn't learning karate and sure as hell wasn't going up and down a mountain.
Turns out they brought the bus up, and the whole point was to make them think there was more ahead of them then there actually was. So here's my mom, sitting and waiting for a bus that isn't coming, when a car pulls up and this lady rolls down the window. Neither of them speak a common language, and after figuring this out, the other woman just says "Karate? Karate?" And my mom said "Hai" which was the only world of Japanese she knew. And thanks to those two words, this woman managed to get my mom back to the hotel where everyone was staying.
xD funny story Keyon

Yes! Another video :)
YES. :)
I’m visiting Tokyo on 13 September to play tournament Bridge . My second visit . Recently subscribed to your Channel and am
Impressed by the humor , content and quirky Japanese culture . Keep it weird and less stuff about your weight , appearance and personal problems ( which seem trivial compared to mine ! )
Chris, top lad man... so informative yet so exciting. thanks again
I'll see YOU in Narita on July 2nd mate. Lawl.
Seriously though, fun video. I can't wait till July where it's finally my turn to get a piece of the Japanese "cake"
And what a cake it shall be! Best of luck to you mate!
You forgot to add the endless amount of free towels you get with every purchase.
Cat islands?

Let's Goooooooo! 😃
TAKE ME WITH U
This is my favourite channel thanks Chris ya beast!
7:10 "if you like cats or deer, this is the place to be"
I'm sold
Your vids are as cool as always, but dude if you want to be more frequent, maybe it's an idea to make vlog-like videos. It is always cool to hear funny stories etc.
Not that these videos are bad!
He set an incredible high standard for himself!
It's true, the v-log route isn't a bad idea. I fear I'm not interesting enough to pull it off though!
Seriously? I mean like everything that comes out of ure mouth is funny, I think you would be a great V-logger. But yeah, try it once or twice then we can see how it will work out right? :D
Anyways, keep up the great work!!
Hiyori Sarugaki I love you too

I never understood how Japan was once the most miltary based empire to the most happy place on the world
Disney dissaproves.
Anime changed the world xD
haha
chew bar It´s all about lolis meeennnnn.
chew bar happiest place on earth has a suicide forest
Monky120893 happiest place on earth has one of the highest % of suicides.
great way of presenting your experience of japan, quite different perspective from the usual!
I UST WATCHED YOUR VIDEOS AND IM LAUGHING OUT LOUD RIGHT NOW OMYGOSH. HAHA. You're one of the most funniest guy I've ever watched. I'm a Filipino and I want to learn and know more about Japan so yeah, I'm watching your videos man. Its awesome!
OMFG CAT ISLAND!
Man i'm so tired of that ambiguous chicken we have to eat here. Its like they are not even trying..
I know right! Petition:
Fun Fowl crisps for new name here in the UK!
At least they died doing what they loved
British food is considered worse than rabies everywhere in the world, not just Japan, just so you know.
Really.... because the UK is 3rd on the list of Michelin Star Restaurants. Behind France and Italy, Italian food being bloody legendary!
tomcornwall83 That's no indication of the local cuisine's quality, it just means that the UK has a lot of fancy restaurants (probably serving other countries' food).
if you have to pay tons of money to be able to have good food.... is wrong.
You ever had tinned sausage and beans on toast?
FOoking Beans on toast crunt ohi ohi ohi
thank you so much for all your videos and precious, precious infos.
I'm so nervous about my three week trip to Japan but your videos are making me feel better about it! I'm so excited too but primarily terrified.
Have you thought about making daily/weekly vlog's? that would be awesome =)
I agree, weekly vlogs would be amazing I love his video content. =)
It's a very good idea
"No. Fucking British Boyfriend"
oh my god this made my day 😄
When I went to japan I stayed at a hotel that was entirely Pokemon themed, and even the staff were dressed up in costumes the whole time. Truly a wonderful place!
Haha that's literally amazing - have you got a link? This good be the genesis of a new TH-cam video haha
Which part of japan was this in?
@@AbroadinJapan akidearest went to one (seven years too soon or late depending on your perspective 😏):

これを見て日本に来てくれる人が増えたらいいな！
日本語以外喋れないけど困ったら助けてあげようと思う！
I've heard that the hospitality towards foreigners there is fantastic. That they work very hard to make sure you are alright, know where you're going and not lost, try to make you more comfortable by speaking English to you at first and making sure you have a fork/spoon at restaurants to make it feel more like home to you, and just all in general take care of you to make sure your time in Japan is great (even if they randomly see you walking down the street looking confused they come up to you to help)! I've met Japanese people before, but in my own country. I've never met a Japanese person who wasn't nice, hardworking, and very gentlemanly. If that were my country of origin and culture, I'd be so proud of my people. They all seem like great people.
It comes down to trust, in Japan you can meet total strangers and you don't feel threatened or worried about your safety, therefore partying with them comes easily.
People are generally very nice, there is however a minority of middle aged racist Japanese guys who don't like foreigners and show it in the funniest of ways. It should be noted that they are very tiny minority and they come off as odd, not threatening.
I LOVE JAPAN I GO THERE EVERY YEAR. BUT FINALLY MY FRIEND IS COMING WITH ME THIS SUMMER OMG SOO FUN IM GONNA SHOW HIM EVERY THING
Same!!!!!!
+Lightning strike Every year? Where do you live and how do you afford it?
Milk Is Good nyc my mom is a news reporter i think it has a good income.
Milk Is Good Im not sure i think its becuase im rich but i don't like saying that word it just doesnt make me feel right. So ill just say middle class
Lightning strike You make a trip from New York City to Japan annually. That doesn't sound like middle class. I myself am a middle class citizen but I would quickly drain my bank account if I were to make that trip so often. Does your mother have a special air miles or something being a news reporter? She must have to make trips all throughout america, yes? I'm not trying to be condescending, by the way, I'm just curious. Ask your mother if you can.
I love your videos so much :3 But I'd prefer if you used british terms rather than jumping into 'american'. Idk, crisps just sounds so much better than potato chips
#1 Especially true! Many people so easy to talk to and help. One instance, my wife and I were on a train that was diverted because of heavy rainfall. We didn't know where to go, and a schoolboy who was already late for is classes, took the time to show us how to get to the train we needed to get to and even walked us to the station. If you go, BRING OMIYAGE to show your appreciation to people who help you! We wish we did!
Ever since I started learning about Japan in junior high, I've been consumed by a growing fascination with Japan as well as some other parts of Asia. I shall certainly visit one day. For now, I shall try and learn the language and more about the incredible culture. In fact, it was a Japanese lady (my professor) that gave me the inspiration and support to gain the self-belief and extra boost to graduate from my university with good grades. She probably doesn't know but my whole class truly loved her and I owe her so much for her incredible heart.
日本を紹介してありがとうございます！日本はいいところなので是非一度来てみてください！
Japan is a nice place so please come and visit us!(≧▽≦)
I will try, but first i need to learn KANJI
There should be a dog island, with little Pomeranians and Chihuahuas running around in the wild.
Yeah, there's cat island and rabbit island but no dog island! I detect a business opportunity...
There's also a squirrel park somewhere... Kyde and eric did a video on it.
Conspiracy theories about Lebanon, Chris called it YEARS AGO!
i remember watching this and the Mc Donald's deluxe burgers vividly, and other videos from AbroadInJapan and these were the first inspirations for me to come to Japan , how time flies !
Came back from Kobe-Sannomiya just a month ago and I still love that country.
Nice people. Next to no crime activities. Low prices and first to get most global released video games. Now i'm definitely convinced. Better start learning how to speak, read and understand Japanese.
3:48 this is so weird I live in a small town called Lebanon. I know it's referring to the country but I was kinda confused for a minute.
I’m sure the thumbnail has nothing to do with 3.1m views on this video 🤣
Just came back after 2 weeks there. First trip. Life changing. Outstanding.
My tickets are booked for this fall... I cannot wait to travel around Japan. I've been watching way too many of your videos at the expense of my sleep!
6:19 now I know how to stay single in japan.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I came for the thumbnail
And you did too
6:30 FKING LOL!!!
Journey through all Abroad in Japan videos celebrating two million subs.
I burst out laughing when the girlfriend said "Kore dake?" she looked so pissed LOL
Looking forward to when I eventually go to Japan 😆
